The corridors were dark as you made your way back towards the dungeons. You had spent the day in the Hospital Wing. With Ced. Everyone had returned from Hogsmeade hours ago and it was well past curfew.
You wandered down the darkened halls, shivering from the eerie breeze haunting the corridors. You paused, just before the stairs at the end of the 3rd floor.
Voices. You heard the unmistakable sound of voices. Men. Two of them. You held your breath as you edged toward the sounds. Toward the voices. They were coming from Professor Lupin's classroom. You pressed yourself against the wall, next to the door, straining to hear their conversation.
"Do they know it was you? Do they suspect that you were the one helping me?" A gruff voice asked.
"No. I don't think they do. Although Severus Snape may. But regarding our pasts I don't really blame the him," another voice replied. You knew that voice. It was familiar. It was Professor Lupin.
"I can't thank you enough Remus. I just need to get to him. He's the key. I just know he is! If only that woman would've let me into that tower," the man snarled.
You gasped. You couldn't believe what you were hearing. Professor Lupin had been helping Sirius Black. You had to tell Professor Dumbledore. You started toward the stairs, tripping over a statue. You crashed to the ground. And the talking stopped. You held your breath, praying they didn't hear you.
"What was that? Come on! We can't risk being seen!" You heard footsteps rushing toward you, as you cursed under you breath. You could die right now!
You scrambled to your feet but you weren't fast enough. You had just reached the stairs when a large black tackled you to the ground. Your scream was muffled by a hand covering your mouth. This was it. You were going to die. And no one would ever know what happened. You would never get to see Cedric again. You would never have a future. You would never get married. This was it.
You tried to scream again, sinking your teeth into your captor's hand. The man cursed, his hand flying away from your mouth. You opened your mouth but nothing came out. Instead a sharp pain pierced the side of your head and you fell unconscious.

-Time Skip-

Muffled voices filled the air around you. The floor creaked as you shifted. Where were you. What the hell happened. Then you remembered. You remembered everything. You jolted upright. You were lying on the ground in an empty room. The wood paneling was old and the building swayed as the wind roared outside.
A low growl sounded from the side of the room. You turned quickly, reaching for your wand, only to discover it was gone. You scanned the room, looking for anything that could be used as a weapon, finding nothing. Another growl was released making you jump.
A large black dog crept out of the shadows. You screamed in fear. Where were you? What was going on? The animal inched closer as you let out another shriek. "W-Who are you? W-what do you w-want? I-if y-you're g-going to k-kill me, j-just d-do I-it. I-I'm not a-afraid of y-you!" You stammered, trying to find your confidence.
Just when you thought the dog was going to pounce he transformed right in front of your eyes. An animagus. You gasped, staggering backwards, as a tall man stared back at you. He had long greasy hair and his clothes were tattered, covered in thick stripes. You shrieked! Sirius Black.
You screamed again. There was no doubt in your mind. You were going to die. You were going to die and no one would be able to save you. You sank to the ground, crying. You would never see your brother again. You would never get to see Adrian. Or Terence. Or George. Or Fred. And worst of all, you would never see Cedric again.
"My dear child! I'm not going to kill you! Why on earth would I harm you?" Sirius Black asked, startling you. He was the most famous serial killer of all time and here he was standing in front of you, saying he wasn't going to harm you.
"Are y-you n-not S-Sirius B-Black? T-the m-mass m-murder?" His eyes regained a far away look as he shook his head, solemnly.
"Of course I'm Sirius Black. But I am not the man you think I am. I was never a killer. I never killed those people." Your mouth fell open as you shook you head in disbelief.
"B-but y-you helped You-Know-Who kill L-Lily a-and J-James P-Potter! A-and n-now! N-now y-you're a-after H-harry! I h-heard y-you t-talking t-to P-Professor L-Lupin! Y-you're after H-Harry!"
"That's nonsense child! James Potter was my best friend! I was not the man who helped Lord Voldemort kill the Potters. And I am not out to get Harry! Harry is my godson. I'm out to get another man. A man by the name of Peter Pettigrew." You shook you head again. He had killed Pettigrew!
"Impossible! I don't believe you! Peter Pettigrew is dead!" Sirius shook his head, sitting down across from you.
"If you don't believe me that I haven't killed mass numbers of people, then tell me dear child, why haven't I killed you? If I'm the heartless man they all claim me to be, then why haven't I killed you without hesitating? You're of no use to me." You thought for a moment. It didn't make sense. Maybe he was telling the truth. Maybe.
"Alright. You have a point. But if I am of no use to you, then why am I here?" Sirius got to his feet. He paced back and forth in front of you, deep in thought.
"Because you know to much. I'm not going to harm you. I will make sure you are well taken care of but I can't let you go until I find Pettigrew. He's a very dangerous man and he needs to be captured. I'm afraid I'll have to keep you here until my deed has been done."
"You can't keep me here! I have a family! I have a little brother! And Adrian and Terence! They'll be worried sick! I have a boyfriend! He won't be able to handle it! It'll kill him! Please! If you're not the man they say you are, then please, let me go!"
"I'm sorry. I truly am. But you're a danger to me now. I promise that as soon as Pettigrew is taken care I will let you return. But I can't let you ruin this plan now. You seem like a lovely girl. And I can guarantee that no harm will come to you, but I can't let you go. Not yet."
